About Us
We founded 42 Crichton Street Fine Foods on what we consider to be fundamental principles of sustainability and good living:
42 Crichton Street Fine Foods Inc. Interior
- Create delicious, innovative food using seasonal ingredients
- Support local farmers and producers by using mostly locally sourced ingredients
- Treat our co-workers and our customers with respect
We are fortunate to be located in a storied 150 year old building in the heart of the Ottawa’s New Edinburgh neighbourhood. Interestingly, this same building was in its early days, a much loved neighbourhood grocery store.
42 Crichton Street is a small beautifully appointed studio kitchen. The intimate size and open concept encourage an ongoing conversation between the kitchen staff, customers and the farmers and producers who drop by with their deliveries.
Our two fridges and one freezer contain imaginative gourmet dishes for your lunch and dinner. Our regulars now know to drop by just before the dinner hour to catch the daily dinner special hot out of our oven or off the stove. Feel free to call or visit our “latest creations” page to find out what the chef has planned for the day.
While we employ and respect classic culinary technique, we are passionate about what we do and absolutely do not stand on ceremony. We are strongly committed to being a conduit to reconnect our neighbourhood to our producers. Give us even the smallest opening and we will regale you with stories about any of our creations and the pedigree and origin of every ingredient
